Episode 25: Innovation in Banking and Insurance Isn’t Just About Technology
Jieke Pan, CTO at Synpulse8
In this episode of the PULSE Check podcast, Jieke Pan, CTO at Synpulse8, joins our host Salomon Wettstein to explore why real innovation in financial services starts not with new tech, but with a shift in mindset and internal ways of working.
Key discussion points include:
• Beyond system upgrades: Why simply replacing legacy tech won’t fix outdated thinking.
• Cultural roadblocks: How internal resistance and old KPIs are stalling change.
• GenAI’s potential: How generative AI can accelerate speed, personalisation, and productivity.
• Future-forward mindset: Why launching a new app isn’t enough; it’s about delivering the next meaningful service.
Tune in to Episode 25 for expert insights on overcoming the real barriers to transformation in financial services.
